Original application filed February 6, 1925, Serial No. 7,355. Dividedand this application filed October To all whom it may concern Be itknown that I, JEAN PARZIALE, a citizen of the United States of America,and resident of the city of New York, Richmond Hill, borough of Queens,in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented a new andImproved Hair-Trimming Guide, of which the following is a full, clear,and exact description.

This invention has relation to guides for use in trimming the hair, thesame being a division of my prior application, Serial No. 7,355, filedFebruary 6, 1925, and having particular reference to a means forfacilitating the trimming of mens Sideboards.

Primarily the invention eomprehends a device for accurately facilitatingthe trimming of mens sideboards whereby to insure a uniform shaping andcutting of the hair around the ears and at the opposite sides of thehead in front of the ears.

As a further object the invention comprehends a hair trimming guidewhich is comparatively simple in its construction and mode of use, whichis inexpensive to manufacture, and which is highly efficient in itspurpose.

With the above recited and other objects in view, reference is had tothe following specification and accompanying drawings, in which there isexhibited one example or embodimentof the invention which is in no wayintended as a limitation upon the scope of the appended claims as it isto be clearly understood that variations and modifications whichproperly fall within the scope of said claims may be resorted to whenfound expedient.

In the drawings- Figure l is a perspective view of a hair trimming guidefor sideboards illustrating the same in applied position to the head;

i Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the device removed from the head;

Fig. 3 is a sectional view therethrough taken approximately on the line3-3 of Fig. 2

Fig. A is a similar view taken approximately on the line 44 of Fig. 2.

Referring to the drawings by characters of reference, a pair ofsideboard trimming Serial No. 62,133.

guides 10 are provided each of which is formed with an upwardly andrearwardly curved, inwardly directed edge 11 having comb teeth 12 withangular inwardly disposed terminals 13 to guide the person in trimmingaround the ears from the lower end of the Sideboards. The lower edge ofeach member 10 is also provided with a series of parallel comb teeth 1having angularly inwardly projecting terminals 15 for properly guidingthe person in feathering off the lower edges of the sideboard while thefree terminals of said teeth serve as a means for guiding the point atwhich-the shaving of the sideboards is started. The sideboard trimmingmeans consists of a pair of these guide elements 10 which are connectedby a strap or band section 16 at the rear and a pair of strap sections17 at the front, one of which sections is provided with a connecting andadjusting buckle 18.

In use and operation, the guides are properly applied to the head asillustrated and scissors or clippers are used to trim away the hairwhich projects beyond the toothed lower edges. By using the lower freeends of the teeth as a guide, the hair extending below the same is cutaway and shaved to finish off the trimming operation.

What is claimed is:

As a new article of manufacture, a guide for trimming Sideboards,comprising a pair of members each having an arcuate rear portionconstituting means for guiding the user in shaving around the ears, anda lower edge having a series of parallel teeth formed with angularinwardly projecting terminals through which the portions of thesideboards to be trimmed project.
